Rooted Parent

Tune in for a very special episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, in which Anna discusses divorce with Rooted's executive director, Hannah Dow, and guest author Vaneetha Rendall Risner. Risner has written an important book: This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God through the Heartache of Divorce. If you have been through a divorce, you will want to hear the renewed hope Vaneetha has found in Christ; if you have not suffered a divorce, you will still want to hear her story so that you can pray and care for both parents and children.
Vaneetha Rendall Risner is the author of several books, including This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God Through the Heartache of Divorce. She and her husband, Joel, live in Raleigh, where she shares on her website about Christ’s unwavering presence in suffering. Two grown daughters call her mom. Her story includes childhood bullying, losing an infant son, developing post-polio syndrome, and going through an unwanted divorce. You can find her at vaneetha.com.

In this final episode of the Good Good News season, Cameron and Anna talk about one of their very topics; the glorification we will experience in heaven with Jesus. Keeping heaven in our sights while we're on this earth helps us have a wiser perspective on what matters- and what does not matter- in this life. And of course the very best thing about heaven is being with Jesus forever!

For some of us, the concept of sanctification carries a sense of burden or dread, as if responsibility for change lies with us. In this episode, Cameron and Anna dive into the Scripture for reminders that our sanctification is God's job, not ours. We are sanctified through the truth, in our relationship with Jesus, by the Spirit. Now that's good news!

Perhaps the most painful consequence of the Fall lies in broken relationships with God, with each other, with ourselves, and with creation. One of the incredible benefits of the gospel is that Jesus has made reconciliation possible! In this episode, Cameron and Anna explore this here-and-now, concrete benefit of the gospel of reconciliation–a gift we can experience in our relationships even now.

Being a parent can be isolating in any number of ways. In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss the enormous comfort believers derive from the continuous presence of Christ, who will never leave us or forsake us.
